- I thought about buying WorkFrame/2, but I have an editor I like and
- the other tools didn't excite me. Also, the price of the toolkit was
- $79, the price of the Workframe is $65, and the price of the
- combination was about $155, so I decided to see if I needed it.
- (The above prices are at Programmer's Paradise).
-
- If my idea of using .dlls doesn't work well, I'll be buying a $65
- library utility, I guess.
